We had some visitors come before Christmas. Grandma and Pop arrived just in time for the flurry of activity before Christmas arrives. We attended Christmas concerts and school parties. We wore ugly sweaters and went Christmas shopping. We love when Grandma and Pop come to visit! Each year the boys go on a Jingle Bell walk at their school. They walk down to the amphitheater near the school and perform Christmas songs for us. The little kids and Grandma loved the Christmas music.
The best part of their visit was a very special gift. On Friday night the boys put on their suits and ties and we headed into downtown Phoenix to the Phoenix Theater Company.
A couple of months ago we saw the movie saving Mr. Banks. The boys loved it and I loved the music. I had forgotten how much I loved the music from Mary Poppins. I decided to play it around the house (all the time). We would download clips from the movie and sing the songs while we cleaned up the kitchen or the living room. Gabriel and Owen loved "A Step in Time" and they would dance around the house with a broom. So, we were all excited to see it in real life.
Oh my goodness. Don't I have the most handsome boys? Eli is wearing a little jacket that was Bryan's. And, they were so well behaved. We were a little early so we sat in the lobby and had a little snack before the performance. I was very proud of them.
When the play started I wasn't to sure if they would enjoy it or if they would sit still, especially little Eli. I watched them very closely and you could see the sparkle in their eyes when the music would start. They knew all the songs and were so mesmorized by the preformance. Owen sat up in his seat the whole time with his little mouth open. And, Eli loved it. He watched each scene in complete silence. It was such a neat experience and we all feel so blessed that we get to enjoy things together as a family.
But, where was Grace? Well, Grace was home with a babysitter. We missed her and hope one day we can take her to another play (when she is older).
